This test case combines 2 test cases, i.e., when writing to the output
file *and* to stdout is returning an error:

  $ yes |  timeout 10 src/tee /dev/full > /dev/full ; echo $?
  src/tee: standard output: No space left on device
  src/tee: /dev/full: No space left on device
  1

But if run separately, then we run into timeouts again:

  $ yes |  timeout 10 src/tee /dev/null > /dev/full; echo $?
  src/tee: standard output: No space left on device
  124

  $ yes |  timeout 10 src/tee /dev/full > /dev/null; echo $?
  src/tee: /dev/full: No space left on device
  124

Isn't exiting early in both cases what you wanted to achieve?

Have a nice day,
